Posted November 11, 2014 Hey people! So, I have to cool down this AMD FX 8320 with something, and I thought on a Corsair H100i. Problem is that my actual case is.. Well.. Kind of looks like this: So I was thinking on get a Sentey Burton PC case, and I was wondering if this H100i would fit in there. Sentey Burton Corsair H100i As you can see, the Burton has two fans in the top of it, but, is that enough for fitting this H100i? Do you think it'd be enough for cooling this FX 8320 overclocking it to 4.0GHz or 4.5GHz? Thanks for replying if you do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 11, 2014 The spacing on those top-mounted 120mm's does not appear to have support for a 140mm radiator. They're too far apart. ~Remember to quote posts to continue support on your thread~ -Don't be this kind of person- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x | RAM: 2x16GB Crucial Ripjaws Z | Cooling: XSPC/EK/Bitspower loop | MOBO: Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master | PSU: Seasonic Prime 750 Titanium SSD: 250GB Samsung 980 PRO (OS) | 1TB Crucial MX500| 2TB Crucial P2 | Case: Phanteks Evolv X | GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 (with EK Block) | HDD: 1x Seagate Barracuda 2TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 11, 2014 No. They are way to far spaced to fit a dual rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 11, 2014 It looks like it actually has a top compartment for radiators, but I may be wrong. I think it does support it. They even have a picture on their site showing it. EDIT: I would consider a different case though. There are much better cases around the same price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that looks like a.. I don't know the name of it. Where you set the tubes and you buy the socket apart? And the H100i comes all together, I may be missing something..

The main thing is the radiator fitting. This picture looks like it uses a 240mm radiator (same as the H100i uses) and it fits. Therefore, the H100i will fit.

'Custom loop' I think is the name you're looking for? I think what Oshino was talking about was the way the rad is mounted in the top. If that one fits for that custom loop, it should fit the H100i. It does look like you'd have to go with a 'push' (if the top is exhausting hot air) setup since the spacing of the fans on the top is not right next to each other.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I got it. I hope it will fit!! Thank you so much for replying!! 'Custom loop' I think is the name you're looking for?

By a 'push setting' you mean to PUSH air INTRO the case or EXAUSTING it? Excuse my ignorancy :mellow: Thank you too for replying! Gosh I though this comunity wasn't this good honestly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse my ignorancy :mellow: Thank you too for replying! Gosh I though this comunity wasn't this good honestly Push means the way the air is passing through the radiator, rather than the case. So have them pushing air through the radiator, out of the top of the case, rather than pulling air through the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have it setup as a 'pull' with the fans mounted the same way, sucking air from outside the top of the case, through the rad, then into the case; but you're fighting thermodynamics and doesn't make much sense. Ideally, you pull air in from the front/bottom of the case, and have air exhaust out the back/top of the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So have them pushing air through the radiator, out of the top of the case, rather than pulling air through the radiator. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... Got it! So this part of the fan should be heading up, right? Yup.

Isn't "Push" already sucking air from the top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't "Push" already sucking air from the top? Yes, that side should be against the radiator, pointing up. This will push air through the radiator and out of the case.

Isn't "Push" already sucking air from the top? The fans are sucking air from the inside of the case and pushing it through the radiator. If you have the fans flipped the other way, they will be sucking air from outside of the case, pulling it through the radiator. But in a top-mount setup, it's not ideal, so you can ignore it. Sorry for the confusion! Set it up like Oshino said and you'll be fine. If you have doubts about which way the fans go, there should be arrows on the frame of the fan somewhere showing airflow. And if you're still not sure, just plug them in and turn em on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
